NZOIA Code of Ethical Practice for Outdoor Professionals

An NZOIA member has responsibility for promoting the highest standards of outdoor instruction and guiding. Professional integrity is key to the credibility of an instructor or guide.

An instructor or guide has privileged interactions with people. This brings considerable responsibility regarding behaviour. It's important that NZOIA members are aware of these responsibilities, and realise that any breach could result in repercussions such as the loss of NZOIA qualifications.
